Milson Silver Goblets are underway

Sailing has been very tight across the challenging first days of the regatta, with less than 5 minutes between first and last in these hour long races and places often decided by the narrowest of margins. “There are no slouches in this fleet,” quipped one skipper.

Day 1 featured a strong nor'easterly and was won by current World Champion Iain Murray and his crew from the Worlds on EAUS1473 Havoc. On day 2, in a fading breeze, the race was won by Graeme Taylor on EAUS1474 Magpie. Looking at the pointscore at the conclusion of day 2 Graeme Taylor has a narrow lead of just one point from Iain Murray with Jeanne-Claude Strong on EAUS1475 Flying High placed third.
